changing the convictions of men and
educating the young to the Catholic
standpoint. This was a setback, but
the plotters propose to GO right along
and stir up all the trouble they can, and
watch for an opportunity for the bal
ance of power, and hope to substitute
for the present system centralized
republic, and after that be governed by
circumstances. Don Carlos has no
hope in Spain, but is looking for aid in
Austria and Cuba. The adoption of
the reelection amendment has checked
the plot, as it was expected the Con
zales faction and the Romero party
would weaken the government in the
bitter fight for the presidency, but as
long as Diaz retains control they have
but little chance.

Free Trade with Canada.

NEW YORK, May, 19,-Hon Ben
Butterworth of Ohio. who late in the
last session of Congress introduced
bill to abolish all custome duties be-
tween the United States and Canada,
addressed large audience here tonight
on commercial union. The adj
dress was in response to invita-
ton from the Canad ian Club.
EraStuS Wyman is very active in an
effort to break down trade barriers be-
tween his native country and the
country of his adoption, and he pre-
sided. In the audience was large
representation of the members of the
Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade
and transportation bankers and mer-
chants generally, in addition to MEM
bers of the Canadian Club. Butter
worth, among other things, said what
is proposed in the present instance
is a full and complete reciprocal
trade and commerce between the United
States and Canada by terms which
for the purpose of trade, barter and ex-
change and the two countries shall be
as one arrangement, having nothing to
do with government matters or politi-
cal conditions, there being no necessary
connection between the political in
situations of the country and its trade
and commerce. We seek with this ar
rangement to remove all custom houses
along our Canadian fronts, withdraw
the line of pickets that keep watch and
ward on both sides along 1900 miles
of our northern boundary. The
adoption Of the system propose would

and internal revenue tax and possibly
an arrangement for pooling receipts

equitable basis, all of which, as has
been fully demonstrated, present no

unsettled questions between the United

since the treaty of Paris constant
threatening and menace to the peace
and repose Of both nations. It has

BIaine's European Trip.

NEW YORK, May ia special from
Augusta, Maine, to the World says:
While Blaine is enjoying the change of
scene across the water he will not re-
main idle. Blaine will visit Gladstone
and put himself in cooperation with
the great leader of the home rule par
ty. Undoubtedly he will be asked to
speak at dinners. The more radical
his views the more attention his
speeches will attract in the English
press, and the more potent, certainly,
will be the effect on this side of the
water. From England the Plumed
Knight will make a pilgrimage to Ire
land. Parnell will accompany him,
and together the two statesmen will
receive prominent. people, address pub
lie meetings and create such enthusi-
asm as no American citizen has yet re-
ceived in Ireland. Blaine will have Sc
cured the endorsement of Gladstone,
and, preceded by this, his trip through
Ireland would be grand triumphal
tour, with warm welcome on every
hand.

CHICAGO, HIS, May 2l.-A secret

the revolutionary society to which the
condemned anarchists belonged, is as
follows: No group to exceed five in
number. After the first five are
organized, let them select a central
organizer and separate again, each in
dividual starting another group of his
own, numbering five. When a group
is reported full let the central organi-
izer go and inspect them and verify the
fact. By this system never more than
six will come together. The organizer
alone becomes familiar with twenty
five. Similar twenty-fves can be es-
the various central organ
izers constituting an executive commit

a membership of 125. So on and so on,

length. Later a systematic grouping

THE UNION PACIFIC.
Jay GOuid's Testimony Before the In

Der IA, 1879 was $S8, 472 1871 consisting
of various issues of lands. The out
standing issue of stock at that time
was 1886, 1872 SIT. The Indebtedness of
the Kansas Pacific at that time was
$35, 162 SIS. The stock was 50, 500 $50,

trolling interest at that time. By re-
leasing the So 900, 900 of the Denver
Pacific bonds we made the conSOlida-
ton mortgage for $500, 900 less. The
outstanding consolidation bonds to-day
is Sic, 230, 900. When all the underlying
bond have been converted the trust
will have issued all of the consolidated
bonds. The Union Pacific Railroad
Company became the owners of the
"a 900, 900 Denver Pacific stock by the
consolidation and issued 81 100000 of
its own stock in place of it. They
used So, 464, 1853 of this stock in pay
ment. The only effect of the issuing
of this stock was to increase the in
debtedness of the Union Pacific and
the Denver Pacific. The stock is not
an important factor in the matter of
this investigation, for that in
debtedness could have been
